Bailey's Walnut Fudge

Every year at Christmas time I make fudge to give to family and friends as a “thinking of you” type of gift.  This is my "go-to" Bailey's Walnut Fudge recipe. It's delicious, sweet, nutty with a mellow hint of Bailey's in the background. This fudge is very smooth and creamy and a piece is enough to satisfy any sweet tooth.

If you are going to try this recipe do keep in mind this makes a large 13x9 pan of fudge.

I put my recipe into the Recipe Builder on Weight Watchers and I throw in the amount of fudge pieces I end up with to figure out the points.  Typically I end up with 4-5 Point Plus Value pieces of fudge.

Now onto the recipe:

4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 pound butter
2 (12 ounce) packages milk chocolate chips
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
4 cups mini marshmallows

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2/3 cup & 2 tbsp Bailey's
2 cups chopped walnuts

Pour chocolate chips, 4 cups mini marshmallows, vanilla extract, Bailey's and walnuts in a very large bowl. Set aside.

In a medium sauce pan, place the butter, sugar and evaporated milk into the pan.

Cooking on medium/high to medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil (don’t forget to stir it).

Once you start to see bubbles forming set your timer and cook for exactly 11 minutes (depending on how it’s boiling you can lower your heat setting a little from medium-high to medium), stirring constantly.   Make sure you stir constantly or it WILL burn on you.

Once done, pour your hot liquid mixture over the ingredients in the bowl and stir slowly to blend using a metal spoon.

Right before your mixture until it's set.

Pour into a buttered 13 x 9-inch pan and chill very well. Cut when cold.
